Flexible Load Stochastic Optimal Control of Wind Power-Based Hydrogen Production and Ammonia Synthesis Systems Based on the Itô Process by Guoshan YANG, Jie ZHU, Wenqin SONG, Yiwei QIU, Buxiang ZHOU

“…Firstly, the flexible regulation state-space model of the P2A system is established. Second, considering the coupling of the stochastic process of wind power output and the adjustment inertia of the ammonia synthesis section, the Itô process is used to model the stochastic process of wind power output, and a stochastic dynamics-constrained optimal control model of the P2A system is constructed. …”

Tungsten impurity reduction by ICRH in a high power injection and high performance H-mode discharge on EAST by Zhen Zhou, Shengyu Shi, Ling Zhang, Tao Zhang, Xiaohe Wu, Yunxin Cheng, Wenmin Zhang, Chaowei Mai, Shengyu Fu, Yifei Jin, Xiang Jian, Kaixuan Ye, Lin Yu, Ziqiang Zhou, Jiuyang Ma, Shuqi Yang, Kangning Geng, Gongshun Li, Jia Huang, Fei Wen, Yunfeng Liang, Xiang Gao

“…In addition, the poloidal asymmetry of radiation distribution from the tomographic inversions of Soft x-ray emission is reduced obviously. Theoretical modeling results indicate that the reduction in toroidal rotation leads to less W poloidal asymmetry and neoclassical pinch, which is more efficient in alleviating the core W accumulation than the improvement of isotropic hydrogen (H) minority temperature. …”
